Preparing the home in Dehradun

With independent houses common, there is usually room for a medium-sized breed to exercise at home. Before the pet arrives, set aside a quiet corner away from through-traffic, sort out bedding, bowls and a carrier, and agree who is responsible for feeding and walks. Provide a warm, draught-free sleeping spot and a coat for short-haired breeds in winter.

Costs beyond the purchase

Plan for the running costs, not just the one-off. Boosters, deworming, food, grooming and the occasional vet visit are the ongoing commitment. Around Dehradun, it is worth identifying your nearest vet before the pet arrives.
